2015 Forester 2.0

[4orester]

Bro u got the black edition?

Normal edition

What is the thing not install so that we can take note???

I didn't see the car. Agent checked himself and noticed obvious things not installed and setup properly.

[Tohto]

cos since Ah Seng never bring in EyeSight3 and it's related safety features, so cannot place ad for safety mah, else makes like Volvo and Mercedes will laugh until die...

 

Actually the Forester safety features compared to others japanese car are very high already.

Only left the eyesight and lane departure missing. Likely with these 2 items added, the OMV will cross over $20k, which will definitely affect the sale number.

Guys, any one have vibration or fluttering of lose item sound at the dash area when u drive at 90-100kmh

 

I can't isolate it as my wife do not drive and I have hard time driving and identifying the source of the sound. Driving me mad as it is consistent as long as speed is 95 and above. Confirmed not related to any loose items around glove box etc.

 

Anyone with similar experience?

Hi, may i know what brand of film u using? How much?

I went with the tinted film known to my experience for more than 10 years. (and the cost is a tiny fraction of the COE nowadays). But, please go with the one you already researched, or have prior good experience.

I believe the old Chinese wisdom/saying : 'one cent money, one % quality'.

The new 2016 Outback will get the Rear Vehicle Detection System (RVDS) thingy and likely the associated Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Detection features as its all relying on same equipment for RVDS. Initially I thought MI will increase the price but they held on to same price....

Just sharing...

 

I remember reading somewhere got bros asking about the headlight having the auto turning feature. This video has demo (at about 2.30 mins into the video).

I know someone who bought XT at $13X last year when COE was higher. 

 

Nope, mine is NA dark grey.

 

If COE softens to below $35K, NA should drop below $100K. 

 

Booked my NA at below $100K (with the typical in-house discounts) during the $38K CAT B COE period in Feb. Just collected the new ride last week and I'm still in the midst of enjoying it.

It's not a vibration/fluttering sound for me, but I have been hearing a rather soft intermittent clicking sound somewhere in between the front seats and the gearstick. This has happened after driving for >10 to 20 km. 

 

Like you, the sound is irritating the shit out of me.

Can anyone advise on whether I can look for another salesperson instead of the one who brought me on a test drive, if I decided to book ?

what is the FC for NA and Turbo version ? Thanks

Driving XT for 3 weeks with mileage 700km. Current average with 50/50 highway/urban is 10.2km/L. Still running in engine, so normal driving with no hard acceleration and highway speed kept to 90-100km/hr. Short burst to test overtaking occasionally.

Overall still quite satisfied with FC as compared to my Kia Sportage which average 9km/L. Hope to achieve even better FC after running in the XT.

If it is within a month of your test drive, the new SE will have to split the commission with the "test drive one".  After one month, all reset.  This is what i understand from a SE in MI.  They have the info of your test drive date in their system.
